What size HVAC system do I need?

Getting a properly sized HVAC system is important to achieve or maintain the ideal temperature of your home or property. This also plays a vital role in improving indoor air quality. Follow these steps to find out the size of the HVAC system you need for your home.

Step 1: Determine how many BTUs of heating and tons of AC you need.

One of the best ways to do this is to perform the Manual J Calculation. Many HVAC professionals recommend this because it considers important factors like square footage, climate zone, ductwork, number and style of windows, quality and amount of insulation, heat-generating appliances, and the number of people using the space. With this data, you can accurately determine the BTUs of heating and cooling you need for your home or property.

Step 2: Square Footage Measurements

The next step is to get the square footage measurements of your property. You can refer to this chart to determine the ideal BTUs for your home or property.
